A SMALL suburb in Tasmania is the fastest-selling neighbourhood in Australia.

On average, houses in Huntingfield in Kingston, south of Hobart, sell at a lightning pace of just five days.

The second fastest-selling suburb, according to CoreLogic figures for the 12 months to August, is also in Tasmania: Warrane, at only seven days before locking in a new owner.

At Huntingfield there are just two homes currently listed for sale on realestate.com.au: a two-bedroom villa, and a solid 1990s built three-bedroom family home.

EIS Property senior consultant Adrian Gray said there were many reasons why suburbs in the Kingborough municipality — in particular, Kingston, Huntingfield and Blackmans Bay — are thriving.

He said these suburbs have a diverse community and a great range of services, programs and facilities.

“There are great beaches, parks and ovals supported by the Kingborough Sports Centre, which hosts a wide range of sporting activities,” Mr Gray said.

“But above all, the prices of houses have not risen to the same extent as Hobart and Clarence municipalities.

“Buyers can still secure a three-bedroom brick home in the mid to high $300,000s.

“Huntingfield is an area that most homes sell below $400,000, and sell quickly.

“However, there is not a large number of homes that sell there in any 12-month period, so statistics can be a little misleading.”

Rain & Horne director Paul Guest has had some excellent results in Huntingfield of late.

In Mariner Circle, he sold No. 34 at a record price for a three-bedroom,

single-bathroom home in this suburb.

And it was gone in a flash.

“That house was available for just two hours,” Mr Guest said.

“I also sold a unit for $430,000 when we were expecting about $380,000.”

In neighbouring Kingston, Mr Guest has just listed 202 Redwood Road, a brick and tile three-bedroom home. Within 24 hours of it going online, offers were coming in at $40,000 to $50,000 above the listing price.
